Safe, Stylish, and Built to Last with High & Tight Fencing
Designing the perfect backyard for your family? If you’ve got little ones running around, safety is a must—but that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice style. The good news? A well-designed fence can do both: keep your kids safe and elevate your home’s curb appeal.
At High & Tight Fencing, we believe you shouldn’t have to choose between function and aesthetics. Here are four of our favorite kid-friendly fence styles that are built to protect, made to last, and designed to look good doing it.
1. Horizontal Cedar Fencing: Natural, Modern, and Family-Approved
Horizontal cedar fencing has exploded in popularity lately, and it’s easy to see why. The clean lines and warm wood tones bring a modern touch to any yard.
But beyond the good looks, it’s a smart pick for families. Cedar is naturally resistant to decay and bugs, and when installed with wide, smooth planks and minimal gaps, it creates a private, secure space for kids to play safely.
Why it works for families:
- No sharp edges or exposed hardware
- Provides privacy without blocking airflow
- Tough to climb when built correctly
- Can be stained to match your home’s vibe
Whether your style leans rustic or sleek, cedar has the flexibility to match.
2. Ornamental Steel Fencing: Classic Looks with Kid-Safe Features
If you’re after something timeless and elegant—especially for front yards or gardens—ornamental steel is a fantastic choice. It’s strong, durable, and built with smooth, rounded edges and closely spaced pickets to keep little ones safe.
Unlike traditional wrought iron, today’s ornamental steel fences are powder-coated to resist rust and weather damage, so you can enjoy beauty and peace of mind for years to come.
Why parents love it:
- Strong, secure, and low-maintenance
- Smooth finish keeps kids safe
- Doesn’t block visibility—great for curb appeal
It’s a great blend of safety, style, and sophistication.
3. Cedar Box-Style Fencing: Solid, Private, and Great for Play Areas
This design combines the classic charm of cedar with a thicker, more structured build. Box-style fences use framed wood panels to create a solid, enclosed look—perfect for keeping kids, toys, and pets safely contained.
It also offers great noise reduction and privacy, which is especially handy if your backyard borders a busy street or neighbors.
Why it works for families:
- Extra sturdy for active play
- Solid panels reduce distractions
- Classic design fits any home style
We custom-build these fences to fit your space, so you get function and a finished look.
4. SimTek Composite Fencing: Virtually Indestructible and Maintenance-Free
Want something that can stand up to anything your kids throw at it—literally? SimTek is a high-performance composite fence that’s strong, stylish, and super low-maintenance.
Made from molded polyethylene and reinforced with galvanized steel, SimTek panels look like real stone or wood but hold up way better. No warping, no splinters, no upkeep.
Why families love it:
- No sharp edges or rough surfaces
- Full privacy and noise reduction
- Holds up to weather, sports, and wild backyard fun
If you’re looking for a fence that’s tough, stylish, and hands-off, this is the one.
